	ok i love this song cause it showed me who i really loved. i was at a rooney show with 2 girls i liked. one i liked more than the other cause i had worked with her more but i also had some interest in the other girl. this song came on and i was really confused cause i liked both girls! by the end of the night i realized that i was in love with "the other girl" and we are still going out !!! i love her, yes i love her!

	Heh, I can relate to this song. But like live:evil stated, I think everyone experiences this. IMO, I think there can be two meanings to the song: 1) Obviously, he wants to be completely secluded with this girl that he loves. Though, she doesn't know that he loves her. He's directly stating to leave the duo alone. ("Stay away" and "Leave us alone, your friends and my friends..) 2) He could be singing about how he'd like to hide their relationship from their friends. Some people believe such a thing can make it all the more intimate and personal.
